Breaking News: Mike D’Antoni has resigned Woj @ Yahoo reports http://sports.yahoo.com/nba Mike D’Antoni has resigned as coach of the New York Knicks, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. D’Antoni and Knicks owner James Dolan agreed on Wednesday to end his three-plus-years run as Knicks coach, a source said. “It was a mutual decision to no longer coach the Knicks … conflicting visions of the club’s future,” the source said. Please close the thread if it is already reported.
I think the offense is about to get more Melo-centric. It may be more successful when posting Melo is the game plan in the first place rather than something that they do kind of half-assed while the plan was to run a pick-and-roll D'Antoni style offense and Melo just demands the ball. For what it's worth, Mike Woodson's Hawks teams were ranked 10th and 2nd best in offensive efficiency during his last 2 seasons there. So, an iso-heavy scheme can work. However, these Hawks team had their core together for a few years by that time (and the early Woodson teams were rather bad), and the Knicks would be needing to switch systems mid-season if they go that way. I don't know if this is going to turn the Knicks around.
LOL The Knicks have become Must-See TV. First Linsanity, then Melo coming back and now this?!?! This is better than what the Kardashians have.
the suns played no defense under d'antoni the knicks played no defense before carmelo the knicks still don't play defense amare had an interview in 2010 where he said d'antoni never taught him how to play defense. i said during the lin streak that all it was doing was prolonging the end of d'antoni.
Uhhhhh...no they didn't They won alot of home games against the dregs of the leaugue. Lin was a good story but as teams got the book on him, it was inevitable that he was going to fall back to earth Nothing against Lin, but the hype was incredible about the Knicks beating a bunch of sorry-assed teams. Although Melo can be irratating, he is still one of the best scorers in the league. Melo got Denver to the WCF the first time in 25 years. This is more about that loser Pringles
I'm not a fan of his non-existent defense, which I think is crucial for a title. But the Suns were still thisclose to the finals and did so well for a few years. There's no arguing that.
Thanks Mike D'Antoni for taking care of our pick. Can you tell Woodson to do the same, please? Again, appreciate it.
Adrian Wojnarowski was just on the Jim Rome show. Said D'Antoni did not lose the locker room. It's basically the locker room vs Melo, right now, according to Woj. Get your popcorn ready the Knicks face the Blazers tonight.
Phil's too smart to go near that turdpile of a team. Sloan might take the job if it weren't in NYC. Adelman would've been a great fit there.
